Question

1. 5.31 = \frac{p}{9.2}

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by 9.2

To solve for \( p \), we multiply both sides of the equation \( 5.31 = \frac{p}{9.2} \) by 9.2. This gives us \( p = 5.31 \times 9.2 \).

Step2: Calculate the product

We calculate \( 5.31 \times 9.2 \). First, multiply \( 531 \times 92 = 48852 \). Since there are a total of 4 decimal places (2 in 5.31 and 1 in 9.2? Wait, no: 5.31 has two decimal places, 9.2 has one, so total three decimal places. Wait, 5.31 × 9.2: 5.31 × 9 = 47.79, 5.31 × 0.2 = 1.062, then add them: 47.79 + 1.062 = 48.852.

Answer:

\( p = 48.852 \)
